Pokémon GO: How To Get Flying Pikachu, Petilil & Ducklet | Fourth Anniversary Event Guide

June 26, 2020 by Kevin Thielenhaus

Discover debuting Pokemon and new Pikachu variants during this 3-week Pokemon Go event!

Pokémon: GO is celebrating its fourth anniversary with an entire month of special events and Pokémon. Every week, new special Pokémon will appear for each team, and you’ll be able to get unique variations of your favorite Pokémon — including Pokémon in party hats, flying Pokémon, or ‘Summer-Style’ Pokémon. I really don’t know what that last one is, but I’m envisioning shades and a Hawaiian shirt. We’ll just have to wait and see, because these Pokémon won’t be available until July, and only for a limited time.

If you’re eager to catch Pokémon in party hats, or Pokémon that can unnaturally fly, then you’ll want to log-in for the weekly Fourth Anniversary events on Pokémon GO. Each week, there will be different Timed Research — the more trainers from each of the three teams complete the research, the more unique Pokémon species will be released. It’s all part of the big event, and even if you don’t take part in Timed Research, you’ll still find special Pokémon hatching or appearing in the wild.

There’s a lot to cover for the big Fourth Anniversary event, so we’ll try to summarize as best we can below. For all the information you could possibly use, check out the Fourth Anniversary announcement on the Niantic Blog, and the Pokémon GO Fest website here.
